PEX · Price
Executive Summary
- Pacific Ridge reported drilling updates for its wholly‑owned Kliyul and RDP copper‑gold projects in British Columbia, highlighting continued strong copper mineralization.
- At Kliyul, two holes (1,287 m total) focused on infill and resource expansion within the Kliyul Main Zone (KMZ).
- At RDP, five holes (2,156 m total) targeted the Day target, confirming and extending a high‑grade porphyry copper‑gold interval previously intersected in 2022.
Key Details
- Kliyul – Overall Drill Program: 2 holes, 1,287 m total; infill/resource expansion at KMZ (inferred resource: 334.1 Mt @ 0.33 % CuEq).
- Hole KLI‑25‑070: Collared south of Valley fault; azimuth 354°, dip 80°; depth 786 m from 1,765 m elevation; intersected chalcopyrite/bornite mineralization with quartz‑magnetite veins and stockworks.
- Hole KLI‑25‑071: West of KLI‑23‑068; azimuth 180°, dip 75°; depth 501 m from 1,776 m elevation; encountered disseminated chalcopyrite‑pyrite mineralization with epidote‑magnetite alteration and quartz‑sericite‑chlorite veins.
- RDP – Overall Drill Program: 5 holes, 2,156 m total; focus on Day target to test tabular porphyry geometry and western magnetic lobe.
- Hole RDP‑25‑010: Located 40 m SW of historic RDP‑22‑005; azimuth 60°, dip 72°; intersected quartz‑magnetite‑sulphide stockwork in first 5 m, then a late mineral intrusive to 175.5 m before termination.
- Hole RDP‑25‑011: Same start point as 010; azimuth 48°, dip 65°; depth 431 m; intersected patchy potassic alteration (K‑feldspar‑magnetite), strong quartz‑magnetite sulphide veining, chalcopyrite‑bornite mineralization extending ≥50 m north of RDP‑22‑005.
- Holes RDP‑25‑012 & RDP‑25‑013: Drilled 170 m NE of RDP‑22‑005 to test tabular geometry; 012 – 363 m at 48°/65°, 013 – 582 m at 160°/70°; intersected chalcopyrite/bornite in potassic monzodiorite and hydrothermal breccia, confirming tabular porphyry model; copper‑sulphide mineralization open to 500 m depth in 013.
- Hole RDP‑25‑014 (final hole): Tested western magnetic lobe; azimuth 335°, dip 65°; depth 604 m; disseminated chalcopyrite‑pyrite and chalcopyrite‑bornite mineralization with quartz‑carbonate and epidote‑actinolite veins.
- Historical Context: RDP‑22‑005 (2022) intersected 107.2 m @ 1.39 % CuEq (2.06 g/t AuEq), one of BC’s best porphyry intervals; recent holes aim to expand and delineate this zone.
